I'm not going to shop at Target, but I want to see if we are doing real damage or if this is really being ineffective.
I'm thinking Target's sales numbers would give us a more accurate picture of what is happening.
Yes. Time will tell. a 3% drop in stock is chicken feed. Let’s see where target is 6 months from now.
Wait and see is the right approach. As of now Target supposedly expects nothing to come from this. One article I read compared this to some dumb Christmas cup thing from Starbuck where there was supposedly a boycott that didn’t work. But the thing here is that not just religious folks are agitated about this.
It probably all depends on if women are cool with men using their facilities. Trump said Jenner could use any restroom in his building, and he is a smart business man. Makes me think that maybe women don’t care a whole lot.

It could easily take 3-6 months to really know if Target sales are being hurt. I don’t think they issue regular sales statements. That means one needs to wait for the quarterly results to be announced. Target has a long history of sales growth, and sales growing faster than WalMart. We’ll just have to wait and see if this is really hurting them.
Is this a real hammering, or is this just people in charge of this boycott asserting that Target is being hammered?
I was wondering the same thing. I got some anecdotal feedback this morning. My daughter is a school teacher and her husband works an early morning shift at Target, unloading the truck. My wife and I watch their kids on Friday mornings until their Dad comes by to pick them up after work. He was an hour early this morning. We asked him why and he said there was a light load today; that there are fewer customers shopping at the store.
